nopCommerce makes it possible to translate your store into multiple languages—and that can make a real difference in how customers experience your site. When shoppers see product information and interface text in their own language, it feels more familiar, builds trust, and makes buying easier. This applies whether you sell worldwide or operate in a region with more than one official language.

Updating your NopCommerce store’s language packs can be tricky if you’ve customized locale string resources over time. Importing a new language pack risks overwriting your translations. This guide shows a safe and efficient method to compare your current locale resources with the latest language pack using a PowerShell script. You’ll learn how to identify added, removed, and changed resources, update only what’s necessary, and keep your custom translations intact. For an even faster solution, the EasyTranslate plugin allows in-place translations using Google Translate and handles all translatable content in your store.
